Conference call to Canon Inc.’s Masaya Maeda

In the past I’ve often mentioned conference calls I had with Canon Inc. in Japan. I’ve also posted transcripts of chat sessions I’ve had with Canon Inc. executives such as Masaya Maeda a couple of times. But last week I had the idea of actually recording one of my conference calls and publishing it here so you can listen yourself to what I have to deal with here at Canon.

The conference call is between me, Frankie (UK) and Berend (the Netherlands), both from Canon Europe and Masaya Maeda, Director and Chief Executive of Image Communication Products Operations at Canon Inc. in Japan. You’ll hear us discussing the poor autofocus system of the 5D Mark II, the stupid increase of megapixels at the expensive of image quality, the 60D, 7D, Nikon D700 and D7000, the 5D Mark III petition (sign it if you haven’t yet) and lots more. Here it is on YouTube:

Thanks man, you have to fight for what you believe in. And the customers are what’s important to me. I’ve been busting my ass off for years for this company, helping out customers and I’m not about to give up anytime soon.

I wish there was a way, but it seems like we’re stuck with the bastard. And by the way, the Nikon gear I own is for competitive research purposes. It’s just work. You have to know the competition. Ahem.

Hey FC, now I know for sure you’re a mental case! Your ass will be punished my merciless ninja warriors! Then Maeda will fire your not-so-tight-any-more-ass! Sorry for this, but I will love to see this and capture it for eternity with the new 5d Mark III – that will be a nice way of boosting sales, don’t you think?

Hmmm, a bit of out of focus will just let Canon costumers’ imagination play. And I’m sure all of them will say “Fuck, I will never switch to Nikon, I couldn’t bare it if images would have been just a bit more sharp”.

CANON please stop MP war!!! It`s OK to have this on 1DS4 to complete with D3XS/D4 BUT please lower MP count to 10MP and use fucking K-5/D7000 sensor change to large Pixels!!PLEASE go 500/600 and 300/400 (II) 200-4001.4x to change MARKET!
